ROBINSON, FARMER, COX ASSOCIATES CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS A PROFESSIONAL LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

TO THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS COUNTY OF ROCKBRIDGE, VIRGINIA

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the discretely presented component units, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the County of Rockbridge, Virginia, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the County’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the Specifications for Audits of Counties, Cities, and Towns,issued by the Auditor of Public Accounts of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

2

Opinions

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the discretely presented component units, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the County of Rockbridge, Virginia, as of June 30, 2016, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Change in Accounting Principle

As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, in 2016, the County adopted new accounting guidance, GASB Statement 79 Certain External Investment Pools and Pool Participants, and No. 82 Pension Issues – an amendment of GASB Statements No. 67, No. 68, and No. 73. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Other Matters

Required Supplementary Information

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis, budgetary comparison information, and schedules related to pension and OPEB funding on pages 4-14, 94, 95-101, respectively, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. The budgetary comparison information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Other Information

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the County of Rockbridge, Virginia’s basic financial statements. The introductory section, other supplementary information, and statistical section, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards(Uniform Guidance), and is also not a required part of the financial statements. The other supplementary information and the schedule of expenditures of federal awards are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, other supplementary information and the schedule of expenditures of federal awards are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

3

The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 18, 2016, on our consideration of the County of Rockbridge, Virginia’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the County of Rockbridge, Virginia’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

As management of the County of Rockbridge, Virginia, we offer the readers of the County’s financial statements this narrative. The narrative provides an overview and analysis of our financial activities for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016.

Financial Highlights

Government-wide Financial Statements

The combined total assets of the County of Rockbridge, Virginia exceeded its liabilities by $41,749,479 (net position) at the close of the most recent fiscal year. Of the total net position, $37,366,546 is associated with governmental activities and $4,382,933 is associated with business-type activities. Of the net governmental activities net position, $23,911,471 may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to creditors and citizens. There is $232,779 presented under governmental activities which are restricted to ensure the availability of funds for specific functions, programs and anticipated liabilities (ex., capital projects and fire services). These restricted accounts are also displayed on the Balance Sheet of Government Funds. Of the business-type activities net position, $366,856 is unrestricted and available to meet the business-type activity’s obligations. For the year ending June 30, 2016, the governmental activities’ assets include $10,068,860 in taxes receivable while $9,364,953 is reflected as deferred inflows of resources. This is shown as part of compliance with GASB requirements. The $10,068,860 in taxes receivable are booked in the first half of calendar year 2016, but because of twice-a-year tax billing, second half real estate taxes of $8,874,382 are not due until December 2016, and are shown as a deferred revenue. When compared to the net position at year’s end June 30, 2015, the total combined net position increased by $1,837,493 (up 4.6%).

Fund Financial Statements

As of the close of the fiscal year June 30, 2016, the County’s governmental funds reported a combined ending fund balance of $27,192,421. This is an increase of $1,620,036 as compared with the previous fiscal year. The increase in fund balance is associated with collecting higher than estimated general property taxes, other local taxes, use of money and property revenue, and recovered costs. The total unassigned fund balance reported as $20,713,488, or 76.17%, is available for spending at the government’s discretion and for projected capital improvement projects.

At the fiscal year end, unassigned fund balance for the General Fund was $20,713,488 or 51.41% of total General Fund expenditures. This is a 3.28 percentage point decrease in fund balance to expenditure ratio compared to year ending June 30, 2015, but well within the County’s fund balance policy, which requires a 20% unassigned fund balance to expenditures ratio.

In FYE 2016, the Board of Supervisors authorized the re-designation of the Courthouse Construction Fund to the Construction Projects Fund. In an effort to proactively establish dedicated fund sources for existing and future projects, this capital fund, reflected under County Capital Projects Fund in exhibit 3, will account for new construction and major upgrades to County facilities that are approved or planned for in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). During FYE 2016, the Board authorized the transfer of over $3M from the General Fund to the Construction Project Fund to source the purchase and renovation of a vacant building for a new regional 911 Center. The County will also use the fund balance to pay for approved FYE 2017 CIP projects (new staffed collection centers - $542.5K; County administration building HVAC upgrade - $350K; & Fleet Services facility improvements - $75K). Additionally, the Board approved the creation of a new Capital Purchases Fund to source and account for procurement of vehicles in FYE 2017 and beyond. The Board approved the transfer of nearly $520K into this new fund in FYE 2016. The Capital Purchases Fund is also included under County Capital Projects Fund in exhibit 3.

The School Capital Projects Fund and Broadband Technology Fund are combined under Other Capital Projects Fund in exhibit 3. The combined fund balance is down $235,434 compared to FYE 2015. Ninety-seven percent of the $199,105 balance can be used to source improvements to Maury River Middle School.

Overview of the Financial Statements

This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the County’s basic financial statements. These statements include three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.

Local government accounting and financial reporting originally focused on funds that were designed to enhance and demonstrate fiscal accountability. Now, and in accordance with GASB 34, fund statements are accompanied by government-wide financial statements, to ensure objectives of operational accountability will also be met. These objectives will provide financial statement users with confirmation from the government that public monies have been used to comply with public decisions, and to confirm that operating objectives were met efficiently and effectively and can be met in the future.


Government-wide financial statements provide users with a general overview of County finances. The statements include all assets and liabilities using the accrual basis of accounting. All current year revenue and expenses are taken into account regardless of when cash is received or paid. Both the financial overview and accrual accounting factors are used in the reporting of a private-sector business. Two financial statements are used to present this information: 1) the statement of net position and 2) the statement of activities.

The statement of net position presents all of the County’s permanent account assets, liabilities and net position. The difference between assets and liabilities is reported as net position. Increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the County is improving or deteriorating. Other non-financial factors such as changes in restricted accounts will also need to be considered to determine the overall financial position of the County.

The statement of activities presents information showing how the government’s net position changed during the fiscal year. The statement is focused on the gross and net cost of various government functions that are supported by general tax and other revenue. The statement of activities presents expenses before revenues, emphasizing that in government, revenues are generated for the express purpose of providing services rather than as an end in themselves.

The government-wide financial statements separate governmental activities and business-type activitiesof the County. Governmental activities are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues. They include general government administration; judicial administration; public safety; public works; health and welfare; parks, recreation and cultural; community development; and transfers to other funds. Business-type activities recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges. The County shows the Rockbridge County Solid Waste Authority as a business-type activity.

The government-wide financial statements include, in addition to the primary government, five component units: 1) the Rockbridge County School Board, 2) the Rockbridge Area Social Services Board, 3) the Rockbridge Regional Jail Commission, and 4) the Rockbridge County Public Service Authority. Although the component units are legally separate entities, the County is accountable or financially accountable for them. A primary government is accountable for an organization if the primary government appoints a majority of the organization’s governing body. A primary government is financially accountable if, in addition, either the government is able to impose its will on the organization or the organization is capable of imposing specific financial burdens on the primary government. For example, the primary government may approve debt issuances, rate structures, and/or provide significant funding for operations of the component unit.

6


The fund financial statements present only major or significant funds. A fund is a group of related accounts used to maintain control over resources that are segregated for specific activities or objectives. Fund accounting is used to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. The County’s funds can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.

Governmental funds

Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions, or services, reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. Whereas the government-wide financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, the governmental fund financial statements are prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting. The focus of modified accrual reporting is on near-term inflows and outflows of financial resources and the balance of financial resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Since the governmental funds focus is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, reconciliation between the two methods is provided at the bottom of the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances.

Proprietary funds

There are two types of proprietary funds: enterprise funds, which are established to account for the delivery of goods and services to the public and internal service funds that account for the delivery of goods and services to other departments or agencies of the government. Proprietary funds use accrual basis accounting, similar to private sector business.

The Rockbridge County Solid Waste Authority is a blended component unit/business-type activity of the County of Rockbridge. The Authority’s financial statements are shown as a proprietary/enterprise fund in the County’s fund financial statements. The Authority owns the only permitted landfill site within the County of Rockbridge. The Authority has a separate annual financial report that provides more financial details.

Fiduciary funds

Fiduciary funds account for assets held by the government as a trustee or agent for another organization or individual. The County is responsible for ensuring that the assets reported in these funds are used for their intended purposes. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statement because the funds are not available to support the County’s own activities.

Notes to the financial statements

These notes provide additional information that is needed to fully understand the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.

Government-wide Financial Analysis

Net Position

As noted, net position may serve as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. For the County of Rockbridge, combined total assets exceeded liabilities by $41,749,479 at the end of the fiscal year.

The County’s net position is divided into three categories: (1) invested in capital assets, net of related debt, (2) restricted, and (3) unrestricted. A comparative analysis has been provided below.

COUNTY OF ROCKBRIDGE'S NET POSITIONJune 30, 2016

Governmental Activities Business-type Activities Total

Governmental Activities

For the County, investment in capital assets (i.e., land, buildings, machinery, and equipment), net of related outstanding debt used to acquire those assets is $13,222,296 which represents 35.39% of total net position. The County uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; therefore, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the County’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. It is of note that a portion of the capital assets is used to encourage economic development and in turn may produce future revenue for operations in either fees or sale of property.

During the year ending June 30, 2016, total governmental liabilities decreased by $1,687,152. While accounts payable increased by $89,130, the remaining liability categories dropped when compared to FYE 2015. This results mainly from making scheduled debt-service payments.

The restricted net position represents resources that are subject to external or internal restrictions on how they may be used. The restricted net position for fiscal year 2016 included assets restricted by external constraints. For fiscal year 2016, the restricted assets meet the reserve requirements for debt service, and provide for capital improvements to the Maury River Middle School.

The unrestricted net position is $23,911,471, which is 63.99% of total net position, may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.

At the end of the fiscal year, the County’s governmental activities realized decreases in two of the three categories of combined total net position. The changes in net position include a decrease in net investment in capital assets of $996,592. Restricted assets decreased in the amount of $958,115 while unrestricted assets were higher by $2,831,242. For the year ending June 30, 2016, the combined total net position increased by $876,535 from last fiscal year.

Business-type Activities

The business-type activities/enterprise fund (landfill and recycling) net position increased by $960,958 resulting from increased tipping fees generating additional cash for future landfill expansion procurement, funds from a revenue bond executed in June 2016, and the value of heavy-duty equipment purchased in

8

FYE 2016. The Authority’s total net position invested in capital assets at the end of the past three years has grown significantly with the procurement of heavy-duty equipment and the on-going stages of developing a new piggy-back lined landfill. The Authority uses capital assets to provide services to its customers, so these assets are not available for future spending.

Changes in Net Position

Governmental Activities

Governmental activities increased the County’s net position by $876,535. Key elements relating to FYE 2016 activities compared to the prior fiscal year will be discussed below.

Revenues increased by $403,859. The following table provides a breakdown on the various revenues sources as of June 30, 2016.

Type Overall total % 1. Property taxes 58.89% 2. Other local taxes 21.41% 3. Non-restricted grants and contributions 6.54% 4. Operating and capital grants 5.76% 5. Charges for services 5.15% 6. Other general revenues 1.98% 7. Use of money and property 0.27%

Component changes from FYE 2015, as restated, to FYE 2016 include:

The largest source of revenues is general property taxes at $24,775,816. General property tax collections rose by $565,604. The Board approved a two-cent increase to the real property tax rate in calendar year 2016 contributing to higher revenues in the June 2016 billing cycle. In addition, public service corporation, personal property, and machinery and tools taxes increased as a result of higher value growth and/or collection levels.

Other local taxes increased by $389,371. Sales, meals, occupancy, and bank franchise taxes continued a positive trend in receipts collected, a reflection of on-going tourism and economic development efforts in the County.

Non-restricted grants or contributions increased by $16,986 as state-shared revenues for mobile home titling and motor vehicle rentals came in higher than projected.

Operating and capital grants dropped by $274,688. This reflects the final stages of a grant reimbursement linked to the completion of the Greenhouse Village water and sewer infrastructure system for a low-to-moderate income housing development began in FYE 2014.

Charges for services decreased by $239,436 due to the one-time permit fees collected in FYE 2015 for the Washington and Lee University housing and natatorium projects which generated over $300,000 in service revenues.

Other revenues were lower by $109,658 resulting from miscellaneous collections (sale of supplies, patron refunds/rebates, and loan proceeds) coming in lower than anticipated.

Use of money and property rose by $55,680. A combination of ongoing income from County property rentals and a new investment methodology by the Treasurer contributed to the revenue increase.

The following table reflects the distribution of FYE 2016 governmental expenditures. For the year, the Board of Supervisors’ expenditure priorities were to maintain improvements in education, public safety, public works, health and welfare, and economic development. In addition, the Board approved a 2% cost-of-living adjustment and step increases to eligible employees, effective July 1, 2015, with a goal of retaining and attracting a quality workforce via competitive compensation. Overall expenses increased by $2,898,879 over the same period in FYE 2015. As shown, education expenses account for 38.76% of total expenses. When combined with public safety, public works, health and welfare, and community development, expenditures for these five categories are 75.58% of the $40,743,904 in total expenses.

10

Type Overall total % 1. Education 38.76% 2. Public Safety 17.59% 3. Public Works 8.00% 4. Community Development 7.20% 5. General Government Administration 7.09% 6. Long-term debt interest 6.11% 7. Non-departmental 4.37% 8. Health and Welfare 4.03% 9. Parks, Recreation, and Cultural 3.51% 10. Judicial Administration 3.35%

Component changes from FYE 2015 to FYE 2016 include:

Education expenses increased by $813,885. The asset allocation from the General Fund to the School Fund was approximately $1.6 million more in FYE 2016 compared to FYE2015. The primary driver to the upward change is that debt service on school board debt financed assets rose by over $416K as a result of the financing of the Maury River Middle School renovation. Assets for the School Division are recorded by the County and then reclassified back to the School Division as the debt on the assets is paid. In FYE 2016, the net amount of assets/accumulated depreciation transferred back to the School Division was $2,701,922. While the asset allocation increased expenses by $1.6 million, the operating transfers to the School Board decreased by approximately $746,000.

Public Safety reflects an increase of $672,457. The County’s procurement of a vacant building ($375K) for renovation into a regional communications (911) and emergency operations center (EOC) occurred under this category. In addition, seven volunteer fire departments were approved for a 15% increase in the operational contribution while the variable pay amount was also increased by 15% (up a combined total of ~$82K). Furthermore, the Board funded $54K for contracted services to cover annual inspections of all fire apparatus pumps, aerial ladders, ground ladders, self contained breathing apparatus, and hoses. The Board also approved targeted increases for the contribution towards two volunteer rescue squads at 15% while two others received an additional 5% to account for additional consumables used at their respective facilities that are housing a contracted ambulance service. The overall squad contributions are up ~$52K. Lastly, the County cost-share costs for the regional jail function rose by ~$60K based on the number of Rockbridge County citizens housed in the facility each month and an increase in overall per capita incarceration costs.

Public Works increased by $378,663. This category pays the County’s cost-share for the landfill operation. The cost per ton tipping fee increased by approximately $14 per ton in FYE 2016 as part of two-year plan to build surplus cash to assist the Rockbridge County Solid Waste Authority with future capital procurement efforts and development of a budget stabilization fund. The combination of the higher tipping fee and actual tonnage generated this upward change.

Community Development decreased by $154,850. The County had previously secured a $262,650 community development grant to provide water and sewer infrastructure for a primarily low- and moderate-income person’s subdivision which was substantially completed in FYE 2015.

General government administration increased by $593,219. Approximately $303,000 of the increase is due to the completion of the general reassessment which began in FYE 2016. In addition, the County developed and funded all costs associated with a new human resources position ($78K). The Board also approved procuring hardware and software updates for the municipal financial management modules required for efficient operations and reporting. Lastly, professional engineering services linked to space-needs analysis, environmental assessment, and facility design for a new 911 center were accounted for in this category.

Long-term debt interest payments are up $38,754 based on current debt payment schedules. Non-departmental was up $23,284 resulting from an increase in the Modified Voluntary

Settlement of Annexation and Immunity payment from Rockbridge County to Lexington City.

11

Health and Welfare reflects an increase of $310,921 primarily because the County’s cost-share funding for the Comprehensive Services Act program was higher than the prior fiscal year due to increased cases involving Rockbridge County residents.

Parks, Recreation and Cultural increased by $141,875 due in part to the funding of higher cost-share for the regional library and talking books program for the elderly and disabled; converting a part-time parks and recreation position into full-time status; and providing the regional recreation organization with additional capital funding originally planned for FYE 2017.

Judicial Administration rose by $80,671 reflecting the unscheduled replacement of the courthouse security system (over $67K) and the full-year, County funding of a new position within the Clerk of the Circuit Court department.

Business-type Activities

The business-type activities/enterprise fund (landfill and recycling) net position increased by $960,958. Tipping fee revenues for FYE 2016 increased by $519,697 resulting from the final step in a 2-year plan to raise charges for services to generate additional surplus in FYEs 2015 and 2016. The additional surplus cash will offset future construction costs and equipment procurement related to cell 1 of the lateral expansion of the landfill. In addition, landfill staff continue to extract scrap metal from the working face of the active cell while recycling materials collected at staffed centers are compacted in preparation for transporting. Each commodity is sold on the recyclable materials market. The Authority realized nearly $12,450 in additional revenue from selling these resources during the fiscal year. Lastly, an improved methodology of investing closure/post-closure funds resulted in a $7,749 improvement in investment income compared to FYE 2015.

Expenditures realized a $212,425 increase compared to FYE 2015. The four primary drivers are: 1) interest expense and bond issue cost ($130,047), 2) depreciation ($71,447), 3) contractual services ($36,347), and 4) personnel costs ($29,658). These individual categories grew due to the following respective factors: 1) new revenue bond and lease-purchase financing, 2) depreciating additional equipment purchased later in FYE 2015 and earlier in FYE 2016, 3) new hauling contract which incorporated transporting recycling stream to buyers beyond County limits, and 4) compensation increases for full and part-time employees.

Transfers from the Rockbridge County General Fund supported the county recycling program accounted for under the Authority. The County transfers funding to subsidize the recycling program. During FYE 2016, the transfer to the Recycling Fund totaled $459,051. The RCSWA conveyed a 6.05 acre plat to the County for the purpose of building a law enforcement shooting range and training facility – resulting in a transfer out of $9,100.

Financial Analysis of the Government’s Funds

As previously mentioned, the County uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements.

Governmental funds

The focus of the County’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of financial resources. Such information is useful in assessing the County’s financing requirements. Unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.

At the end of the fiscal year, the County’s total governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $27,192,421, an increase of $1,620,036 over the prior fiscal year. The increase is associated with assets growing by $1,792,330 when compared to FYE 2015. This total is impacted by positive changes in cash and cash equivalents (up $1,841,651), taxes receivables (up $276,920), and advances to other entities (up $566,177). In addition, due to other government liabilities dropped $63,337 compared to FYE 2015. Lastly, school carryover increased by $167,393 as a result of unexpended funds and were restricted to source future School Board capital projects.

12

The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the County. As of June 30, 2016, unassigned fund balance of the General Fund was $20,713,488. This is a decrease in unassigned fund balance of $1,143,081 compared with the previous fiscal year. The total fund balance of the General Fund is $22,903,794. This is a decrease over the previous year by $2,234,052, a result of the aforementioned transfer of previously gained surplus to fund planned capital projects.

As a measure of the General Fund’s liquidity, it is useful to compare both unassigned fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unassigned fund balance represents 51.41% of total General Fund expenditures, which includes transfers to the School Board component unit of $12,998,898 for operational support. The Board of Supervisors financial policy is to maintain a minimum of 20% unassigned fund balance to expenditures ratio. Total fund balance represents 56.84% of total General Fund expenditures.

Proprietary funds

The County’s proprietary fund statements provide the same type of information found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail.

The Rockbridge County Solid Waste Authority (RCSWA) owns and the County operates a permitted landfill that was targeted for closure on December 31, 2014. A 2014 request for permit extension to June 30, 2017 received Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VA DEQ) approval. Part of the fund balance will be used to meet landfill closure requirements of the VA DEQ. The net funds associated with financing these requirements are restricted. This restricted fund balance will support landfill operations and equipment purchases as needed. Other factors concerning the finances of this fund were discussed in the County’s business-type activities section of this summary. Net position of the landfill fund at the end of the year was $4,324,996 while the recycling fund net position is $57,937. Additional detail is provided in the RCSWA financial report.

General Fund Budgetary Highlights

The difference between the original budgeted appropriations and the final, amended-budget appropriations was a $399,263 increase. This is 0.96% of the total original budget. The actual expenditures were $1,513,334 below the final appropriation total. This total is 3.62% below the final budget. The major components of these appropriation changes are:

Carryover funding from FYE 2015 CIP projects that remained in progress at the start of FYE 2016.

The Board of Supervisors authorized funding a space-needs analysis related to constructing a co-located, regional communications (911) and emergency operations center (EOC).

The Board approved the first-year request to fund the Dabney S. Lancaster Community College “The Dabney Promise” scholarship program, which supports eligible, County residents in meeting their educational needs.

The Board authorized funding an environmental assessment, and later design development, of a vacant building procured for a new 911 Center and EOC.

A Virginia Community Development Block Grant approved to support the completion of an infrastructure project for a low-to-moderate income family housing project carried over into FYE 2016 for final completion.

Capital Asset and Debt Administration

Capital assets The County’s investment in capital assets for its governmental activities as of June 30, 2016 was $72,070,826 (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets includes land, buildings and systems, and machinery and equipment. This is a decrease of $3,373,770 from the previous fiscal year, or 4.47%. The primary change in capital assets is the result of depreciation.

13

The County’s investment in capital assets for its proprietary funds is $4,276,356, an increase of $935,999 from the previous year. This is a result of the completion of a new office building, procurement of additional heavy-duty equipment, and on-going, lateral expansion efforts at the landfill during the fiscal year.

COUNTY OF ROCKBRIDGE'S LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS


The County’s total long-term debt includes the Rockbridge County School Board debt and the business-type activities debt. For the year, the total, combined long-term debt increased by $5,579,108. The County completed an advance refunding of the former 2007 courthouse loan, which generated an estimated net present value savings of $613,354, an 11.96% change. On May 25, 2016, the Solid Waste Authority executed a revenue bond of $5,710,000, with $856,329 premium, to finance the development of a new landfill cell. In addition, the Authority completed a $681,832 lease-purchase of an articulated haul truck and excavator as part of planned CIP efforts. The governmental and business-type activities’ compensated absences, net pension liability, and OPEB obligation and are included in the long-term debt to meet GASB requirements. These categories changed as follows: 1) compensated absences (rose $38,600); 2) net pension liability (increased $482,617); and 3) OPEB obligation (grew $18,000).

Additional information on the County’s long-term debt can be found in Note 7 to the financial statements.

Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budgets and Rates

The Rockbridge County population was 22,307 as of the April 1, 2010 U.S. Census. The Weldon Cooper Institute’s July 1, 2015 population estimate reflects 22,163, a decrease of 144 (0.65%). Minimal change in population has occurred over the past decade and no substantial change is anticipated in the next fiscal year.

For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016, the unemployment rate for the Commonwealth and Rockbridge County were 4.0% and 4.5% respectively. During the progress of this management discussion and analysis report, the October 2016 unemployment rate rose to 4.1% for the state and 4.8% in the County. Overall, local efforts by the Board of Supervisors to fund a variety of economic development initiatives continue in an effort to generate new business inquiries and interest.

The Board of Supervisors fiscal year 2017 budget priorities include limiting overall expenditures in all areas except education, “safety net” programs, public safety, solid waste management, emergency communications, and economic development. These activities may require increased funding compared to prior years. Additionally and primarily, the Board’s goals include meeting all mandates, debt services, and legal obligations.

In FYE 2016 the Board of Supervisors continued its annual support of educational programs. The County student population continues to remain consistent at approximately 2,600. The County’s restricted funding which sourced the local supplement to offset increasing Virginia Retirement System increases over the past several years was depleted at FYE 2016. The Board committed to increase the local operational transfer in FY 2017 by $232,000 (or one penny on the real estate tax rate).

The County continues to tackle capital improvement projects through long-term planning and funding. Projects include the ongoing efforts to construct a new regional 911 center, development of additional staffed collection center sites, completion of major upgrades to the County’s administration building, building a Sheriff Office shooting range classroom facility, and procuring new voting equipment. Additionally, debt service commitments will involve financing a “piggyback” lined landfill and the next phase of a regional radio system upgrade (subscriber units). Decisions on these and other funding decisions were guided by the Board’s mission, vision and values statements, which drive strategic plans and funding priorities.

The County’s commitment to improve the regional Central Dispatch operations involves a cost-share (with our regional governmental partners) commitment to replace the 911 Center’s computer aided dispatch system. This one-time capital improvement within the 911 Center budget, in addition to other approved expenditures, increased the County’s contribution to this critical service by $238,201.

The Board of Supervisors chose to use $427,250 in unassigned fund balance and $147,450 in restricted accounts to fund one-time and carryover capital efforts to provide a limited level of budget stabilization. As result of increased debt service, expanded public safety services, and higher personnel costs, the real property tax rate was increased to $0.735 per $100.00 of assessed valuation i.e. a two cent increase). The personal property rate of $4.25 remained unchanged from the prior year.

All of these factors were considered in preparing the County’s budget for the 2017 fiscal year.

Other long-term assets are not available to pay for current-period expenditures and, therefore,are deferred in the funds.

Long-term liabilities, including bonds payable, are not due and payable in the current periodand, therefore, are not reported in the funds.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2016

Reconciliation of Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Fundsto the Statement of Activities

Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because:

Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities the cost ofthose assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. This is theamount by which the capital outlays exceeded depreciation in the current period.

Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial resources are not reported asrevenues in the funds.

The issuance of long-term debt (e.g. bonds, leases) provides current financial resources to governmentalfunds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources ofgovernmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net position. Also, governmental fundsreport the effect of premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these amountsare deferred and amortized in the statement of activities. This amount is the net effect of these differences inthe treatment of long-term debt and related items.

Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2016

27

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The financial statements of the County conform to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applicable to governmental units promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The following is a summary of the more significant policies:

A. Financial Reporting Entity

The County of Rockbridge, Virginia (government) is a municipal corporation governed by an elected five-member Board of Supervisors. The accompanying financial statements present the government and its component units, entities for which the government is considered to be financially accountable. Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the government’s operations. Each discretely presented component unit is reported in a separate column in the government-wide financial statements (see note below for description) to emphasize that it is legally separate from the government.

Blended component units - The Rockbridge Solid Waste Authority has been determined to be a component unit of Rockbridge County in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 14. The Authority is a legally separate organization whose Board members are composed of the Rockbridge County Board of Supervisors. The primary government has a financial benefit and burden relationship with the Authority and is able to impose its will on the Authority. The Authority is a component unit of Rockbridge County. Complete financial statements for the Authority may be obtained at the Authority’s administrative office at 150 South Main Street, Lexington, Virginia 24450.

Discretely Presented Component Units:

Rockbridge County School Board: The School Board members are elected and are responsible for the operations of the County's School System within the County boundaries. The School Board is fiscally dependent on the County. The County has the ability to approve its budget and any amendments. The primary local sources of funding are from the General Fund of the County. The School Board does not issue a separate financial report. The financial statements of the School Board are presented as a discrete presentation in the County financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.

Rockbridge County Regional Jail Commission:The Rockbridge County Regional Jail Commission is a regional board organized to manage and confine prisoners from the localities of Lexington City, Buena Vista City and Rockbridge County. The Rockbridge County Board of Supervisors appoints two (2) members to the Commission, while the City of Lexington and the City of Buena Vista each appoint one member respectively. The County of Rockbridge serves as the fiscal agent for the Jail Commission. The Jail Commission is included in these financial statements because of the County’s ability to designate the management and exercise significant control over the operations of the entity. The financial statements of the Commission are presented as a discrete presentation in the County financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. Complete financial statements of the Rockbridge County Regional Jail Commission are available at the Rockbridge County Jail, 258 Greenhouse Road, Lexington, Virginia 24450.


Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) June 30, 2016

28

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (CONTINUED)

A. Financial Reporting Entity (continued)

Discretely Presented Component Units: (Continued)

C. Government-wide and fund financial statements

The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. Likewise, the primary government is reported separately from certain legally separate component units for which the primary government is financially accountable.

The Statement of Net Position is designed to display financial position of the primary government (governmental and business-type activities) and its discretely presented component units. Governments will report all capital assets in the government-wide Statement of Net Position and will report depreciation expenses – the cost of “using up” capital assets – in the Statement of Activities. The net position of a government will be broken down into three categories – 1) net investment in capital assets, 2) restricted; and 3) unrestricted.



30


C. Government-wide and fund financial statements (continued)

The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions, including special assessments. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.

D. Measurement focus, basis of accounting, and financial statement presentation

The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.

Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.

Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Accordingly, real and personal property taxes are recorded as revenues and receivables when billed, net of allowances for uncollectible amounts. Property taxes not collected within 60 days after year-end are reflected as unavailable revenues. Sales and utility taxes, which are collected by the state or utilities and subsequently remitted to the County, are recognized as revenues and receivables upon collection by the state or utility, which is generally in the month preceding receipt by the County.

Licenses, permits, fines and rents are recorded as revenues when received. Intergovernmental revenues, consisting primarily of federal, state and other grants for the purpose of funding specific expenditures, are recognized when earned or at the time of the specific expenditure. Revenues from general purpose grants are recognized in the period to which the grant applies. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the government.



31


D. Measurement focus, basis of accounting, and financial statement presentation (continued)

The government reports the following major governmental funds:

The general fund is the government’s primary operating fund. It accounts for and reports all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. The general fund includes the activities of the central stores and the South River flood mitigation funds.

Special revenue funds account for and report the proceeds of the specific revenue sources (other than major capital projects) that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes. The County does not have any special revenue funds to report for fiscal year 2016.

The capital projects funds account for and report financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities, other than those financed by proprietary funds. Capital project funds consist of the County Capital Projects fund and the Other Capital Projects fund.

The government reports the following major proprietary funds:

The landfill and recycling funds account for and report the activities of the Rockbridge County Solid Waste Authority, a blended component unit of the government. The County operates the landfill and recycling operations of the Authority.

Additionally, the government reports the following fund types:

Fiduciary (Trust and Agency) funds account for assets held by the government in a trustee capacity or as agent or custodian for individuals, private organizations, other governmental units, or other funds. Agency funds include the Payroll Deduction, Drug, Veterans Memorial, Employee Benefit, Commonwealth Attorney Forfeitures Funds and the Rockbridge Regional Public Safety Communications Center.

As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are other charges between the government’s landfill and recycling funds and various other functions of the government. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned.

Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.

Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the Authority enterprise fund are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expense, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.



32


E. Assets, liabilities, deferred outflows/inflows of resources and net position/fund balance

1. Cash and cash equivalents

The government’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition.

2. Receivables and payables

Activities between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either due to/from other funds (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as “Advances to/from other funds” (i.e. the noncurrent portion of interfund loans). Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as internal balances.

Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a fund balance nonspendable account in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources.

3. Inventories and prepaid items

All inventories are valued at cost using the first-in/first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories of governmental funds are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased. Quantities on hand at year-end are considered immaterial and have not been recorded, except in the School Cafeteria Fund and Discretely Presented Component Unit-Rockbridge Public Service Authority where it can be easily measured.

Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements.

4. Property taxes

Property is assessed at its value on January 1. Property taxes attach as an enforceable lien on property as of January 1. Real estate taxes are payable in two installments on June 5th and December 5th. Personal property taxes are due and collectible annually on December 5th. The County bills and collects its own property taxes. The County calculates its allowance for uncollectible accounts using historical collection data and, in certain cases, specific account analysis. The allowance amounted to approximately $384,062 at June 30, 2016 and is comprised solely of property taxes.

5. Restricted assets

The governmental funds maintain restricted cash for debt service, garage, fire funds, industrial property, and the discretely presented component unit-school board. The Landfill fund maintains restricted assets invested in the Local Government Investment Pool. These funds are restricted for the payment of future closure and post-closure costs associated with the County’s landfill. Additionally, the Landfill fund has restricted unspent bond proceeds of $6,497,425. The Discretely Presented Component Unit Rockbridge Public Service Authority maintains restricted assets that are limited by applicable bond covenants.



33


E. Assets, liabilities, deferred outflows/inflows of resources and net position/fund balance (continued)

6. Capital assets

Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 (amount not rounded) and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition value at the date of donation.

The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend the asset’s life are not capitalized.

Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of business-type activities is included as part of the capitalized value of the assets constructed. During the current year $31,838 in interest was capitalized in the Landfill fund. No interest was capitalized during the previous year.

Property, plant, and equipment and infrastructure of the primary government, as well as the component units, are depreciated using the straight line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Assets Years Buildings 40 Building improvements 40 Machinery and equipment 5-10 Utility, plant and equipment 5-30

7. Compensated absences

It is the government’s policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick pay benefits. All sick and vacation pay is accrued when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements.

8. Long-term obligations

In the government-wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net position. Bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount.

In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discount, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses.



34


E. Assets, liabilities, deferred outflows/inflows of resources and net position/fund balance (continued)

9. Fund equity The County reports fund balance in accordance with GASB Statement 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions. The following classifications describe the relative strength of the spending constraints placed on the purposes for which resources can be used: Nonspendable fund balance – amounts that are not in spendable form (such as inventory and

prepaids) or are required to be maintained intact (corpus of a permanent fund); Restricted fund balance – amounts constrained to specific purposes by their providers (such as

grantors, bondholders, and higher levels of government), through constitutional provisions, or by enabling legislation;

Committed fund balance – amounts constrained to specific purposes by a government itself, using its highest level of decision-making authority (the Board of Supervisors); to be reported as committed, amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the government takes the same highest level action to remove or change the constraint;

Assigned fund balance – amounts a government intends to use for a specific purpose; intent can be expressed by the governing body or by an official or body to which the governing body delegates the authority;

Unassigned fund balance – amounts that are available for any purpose; positive amounts are only reported in the general fund.

When fund balance resources are available for a specific purpose in more than one classification, it is the County’s policy to use the most restrictive funds first in the following order: restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned as they are needed. The County establishes (and modifies or rescinds) fund balance commitments by passage of an ordinance. This is typically done through adoption and amendment of the budget. A fund balance commitment is further indicated in the budget document as a designation or commitment of the fund (such as for special incentives). Assigned fund balance is established by the Board of Supervisors through adoption or amendment of the budget as intended for specific purpose (such as the purchase of capital assets, construction, debt service, or for other purposes).

10. Net position Net position is the difference between (a) assets and deferred outflows of resources and (b) liabilities and deferred inflows of resources. Net investment in capital assets represents capital assets, less accumulated depreciation, less any outstanding debt related to the acquisition, construction or improvement of those assets. Deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets or related debt are also included in this component of net position.

11. Net position flow assumption Sometimes the County will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted (e.g. restricted bond and grant proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted – net position and unrestricted – net position in the financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the County’s policy to consider restricted – net position to have been depleted before unrestricted – net position is applied.

12. Reclassifications Certain amounts presented in the prior year data have been reclassified in order to be consistent with the current year’s presentation.



35


F. Investments Money market investments, participating interest-earning investment contracts (repurchase agreements) that have a remaining maturity at time of purchase of one year or less, nonparticipating interest-earning investment contracts (nonnegotiable certificates of deposit (CDs) and external investment pools are measured at amortized cost. All other investments are reported at fair value.

G. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

H. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expenditure) until then. The Primary Government has two items that qualify for reporting in this category. The Primary Government shows a deferred charge on refunding reported in to government-wide statement of net position. A deferred charge on refunding results from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt. Additionally, the Primary Government shows deferred outflows which are comprised of certain items related to the measurement of the net pension liability. These include differences between expected and actual experience, and contributions to the pension plan made during the current year and subsequent to the net pension liability measurement date, which will be recognized as a reduction of the net pension liability next fiscal year. For more detailed information on this item, reference the pension note. In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The Primary Government has two types of items that qualify for reporting in this category. Under a modified accrual basis of accounting, unavailable revenue representing property taxes receivable is reported in the governmental funds balance sheet. This amount is comprised of uncollected property taxes due prior to June 30, 2nd half installments levied during the fiscal year but due after June 30th, and amounts prepaid on the 2nd half installments and is deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amount becomes available. Under the accrual basis, 2nd half installments levied during the fiscal year but due after June 30th and amounts prepaid on the 2nd half installments are reported as deferred inflows of resources. In addition, certain items related to the measurement of the net pension liability are reported as deferred inflows of resources. These include differences between expected and actual experience, change in assumptions, the net differences between projected and actual earnings on pension plan investments, and changes in proportion and differences between employer contributions and proportionate share of contributions. For more detailed information on these items, reference the pension note.

I. PensionsFor purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Primary Government’s Retirement Plan and the additions to/deductions from the Primary Government’s Retirement Plan’s net fiduciary position have been determined on the same basis as they were reported by the Virginia Retirement System (VRS). For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.



36


J. Adoption of Accounting Principles

Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 82, Pension Issues – an amendment of GASB Statements No. 67, No. 68, and No. 73 The County early implemented provisions of the above Statement during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. The objective of this Statement is to address certain issues that have been raised with respect to Statements No. 67, Financial Reporting for Pension Plans, No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions, and No. 73, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions and Related Assets That Are Not within the Scope of GASB Statement 68, and Amendments to Certain Provisions of GASB Statements 67 and 68. Specifically, this Statement addresses issues regarding (1) the presentation of payroll-related measures in required supplementary information, (2) the selection of assumptions and the treatment of deviations from the guidance in an Actuarial Standard of Practice for financial reporting purposes, and (3) the classification of payments made by employers to satisfy employee (plan member) contribution requirements. No restatement was required as a result of this implementation.

Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 79, Certain External Investment Pools and Pool Participants The County implemented the provisions of the above Statement during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. This Statement addresses accounting and financial reporting for certain external investment pools and pool participants.

NOTE 2—RECONCILIATION OF GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

A. Explanation of certain differences between the governmental fund balance sheet and the government-wide statement of net position

The governmental fund balance sheet includes a reconciliation between fund balance-total governmental funds and net position-governmental activities as reported in the government-wide statement of net position. One element of that reconciliation explains that long-term liabilities, including bonds payable, are not due and payable in the current period and therefore are not reported in the funds. The details of these ($63,413,254) and ($28,499,381) differences for the primary government and discretely presented component unit, respectively, are as follows:

Primary Component UnitGovernment School Board

Bonds and loans payable $ (56,815,726) $ -Unamortized premium on debt (3,457,468) -Accrued interest payable (810,327) -Deferred charge on refunding 1,424,664 -Net OPEB obligation (166,000) (1,593,000)Items related to measurement of net pension liability 38,832 20,617Net pension liability (3,292,026) (26,757,165)Compensated absences (335,203) (169,833)Net adjustment to reduce fund balance-totalgovernmental funds to arrive at net position-governmental activities $ (63,413,254) $ (28,499,381)

B. Explanation of certain differences between the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances and the government-wide statement of activities

The governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances includes a reconciliation between net changes in fund balances-total governmental funds and changes in net position of governmental activities as reported in the government-wide statement of activities. One element of that reconciliation explains that Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. The details of these $(3,177,114) and $1,199,278 differences for the primary government and discretely presented component unit, respectively, are as follows:


Capital outlay $ 873,126 $ 827,597 Depreciation expense (1,348,318) (2,330,241) Allocation of debt financed school assetsbased on current year repayments (2,701,922) 2,701,922 Net adjustment to increase (decrease) net changes in fund balances-total governmentalfunds to arrive at changes in net position ofgovernmental activities $ (3,177,114) $ 1,199,278

NOTE 2—RECONCILIATION OF GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: (CONTINUED)

B. Explanation of certain differences between the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances and the government-wide statement of activities (continued)

Another element of that reconciliation states that the issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds, leases) provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net position. Also, governmental funds report the effect of premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of activities. The details of this $2,377,178 difference in the primary government are as follows:

Debt issued or incurred:Revenue bonds $ (4,985,000)Premium on bonds (835,950)Deferred charge on refunding 449,876

Principal repayments:General obligation bonds 2,002,118Revenue bonds 5,630,000Amortization of deferred charge on refunding (48,740)

Amortization of premium on general obligation bonds 164,874Net adjustment to increase (decrease) net changes infund balances-total governmental funds to arrive atchanges in net position of governmental activities $ 2,377,178

Another element of that reconciliation states that some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources and therefore are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds. The details of these ($312,022) and ($1,530,549) differences for the primary government and discretely presented component unit, respectively, are as follows:


Compensated absences $ (34,175) $ (67,609)Net OPEB obligation (18,000) (208,000)Net pension liability (442,136) (1,206,852)Deferred outflows related to pension payments subsequent to the measurement date 1,937 (68,705)Deferred outflows related to measurement of net pension liability 38,832 20,617Accrued interest payable 141,520 -

NOTE 8—PENSION PLAN:

Plan Description

All full-time, salaried permanent employees of the County and (nonprofessional) employees of public school divisions are automatically covered by VRS Retirement Plan upon employment. This is an agent multiple-employer plan administered by the Virginia Retirement System (the System) along with plans for other employer groups in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Members earn one month of service credit for each month they are employed and for which they and their employer pay contributions to VRS. Members are eligible to purchase prior service, based on specific criteria as defined in the Code of Virginia, as amended. Eligible prior service that may be purchased includes prior public service, active military service, certain periods of leave, and previously refunded service.

The System administers three different benefit structures for covered employees – Plan 1, Plan 2, and, Hybrid. Each of these benefit structures has different eligibility criteria. The specific information for each plan and the eligibility for covered groups within each plan are set out in the table below:

RETIREMENT PLAN PROVISIONS PLAN 1 PLAN 2 HYBRID RETIREMENT PLAN

About Plan 1Plan 1 is a defined benefit plan. The retirement benefit is based on a member’s age, creditable service and average final compensation at retirement using a formula. Employees are eligible for Plan 1 if their membership date is before July 1, 2010, and they were vested as of January 1, 2013.

About Plan 2Plan 2 is a defined benefit plan. The retirement benefit is based on a member’s age, creditable service and average final compensation at retirement using a formula. Employees are eligible for Plan 2 if their membership date is on or after July 1, 2010, or their membership date is before July 1, 2010, and they were not vested as of January 1, 2013.

About the Hybrid Retirement Plan The Hybrid Retirement Plan combines the features of a defined benefit plan and a defined contribution plan. Most members hired on or after January 1, 2014 are in this plan, as well as Plan 1 and Plan 2 members who were eligible and opted into the plan during a special election window. (see “Eligible Members”)

• The defined benefit is based on a member’s age, creditable service and average final compensation at retirement using a formula.

• The benefit from the defined contribution component of the plan depends on the member and employer contributions made to the plan and the investment performance of those contributions.

The Hybrid Retirement Plan’s effective date for eligible Plan 1 members who opted in was July 1, 2014.

If eligible deferred members returned to work during the election window, they were also eligible to opt into the Hybrid Retirement Plan.

Eligible MembersEmployees are in Plan 2 if their membership date is on or after July 1, 2010, or their membership date is before July 1, 2010, and they were not vested as of January 1, 2013.

RETIREMENT PLAN PROVISIONS (CONTINUED) PLAN 1 PLAN 2 HYBRID RETIREMENT PLAN

Hybrid Opt-In Election (Cont.) Members who were eligible for an optional retirement plan (ORP) and had prior service under Plan 1 were not eligible to elect the Hybrid Retirement Plan and remain as Plan 1 or ORP.

Hybrid Opt-In Election (Cont.) Members who were eligible for an optional retirement plan (ORP) and have prior service under Plan 2 were not eligible to elect the Hybrid Retirement Plan and remain as Plan 2 or ORP.

*Non-Eligible Members (Cont.)Those employees eligible for an optional retirement plan (ORP) must elect the ORP plan or the Hybrid Retirement Plan. If these members have prior service under Plan 1 or Plan 2, they are not eligible to elect the Hybrid Retirement Plan and must select Plan 1 or Plan 2 (as applicable) or ORP.

Retirement ContributionsEmployees contribute 5% of their compensation each month to their member contribution account through a pre-tax salary reduction. Some political subdivisions and school divisions elected to phase in the required 5% member contribution but all employees will be paying the full 5% by July 1, 2016. However, the Board of Supervisors of the County opted to make the transition in a single fiscal year rather than phasing in the requirement. Member contributions are tax-deferred until they are withdrawn as part of a retirement benefit or as a refund. The employer makes a separate actuarially determined contribution to VRS for all covered employees. VRS invests both member and employer contributions to provide funding for the future benefit payment.

Retirement Contributions Employees contribute 5% of their compensation each month to their member contribution account through a pre-tax salary reduction. Some political subdivisions and school divisions elected to phase in the required 5% member contribution but all employees will be paying the full 5% by July 1, 2016. However, the Board of Supervisors of the County opted to make the transition in a single fiscal year rather than phasing in the requirement.

Retirement Contributions A member’s retirement benefit is funded through mandatory and voluntary contributions made by the member and the employer to both the defined benefit and the defined contribution components of the plan. Mandatory contributions are based on a percentage of the employee’s creditable compensation and are required from both the member and the employer. Additionally, members may choose to make voluntary contributions to the defined contribution component of the plan, and the employer is required to match those voluntary contributions according to specified percentages.



54




Creditable Service Creditable service includes active service. Members earn creditable service for each month they are employed in a covered position. It also may include credit for prior service the member has purchased or additional creditable service the member was granted. A member’s total creditable service is one of the factors used to determine their eligibility for retirement and to calculate their retirement benefit. It also may count toward eligibility for the health insurance credit in retirement, if the employer offers the health insurance credit.

Creditable Service Same as Plan 1.

Creditable Service Defined Benefit Component: Under the defined benefit component of the plan, creditable service includes active service. Members earn creditable service for each month they are employed in a covered position. It also may include credit for prior service the member has purchased or additional creditable service the member was granted. A member’s total creditable service is one of the factors used to determine their eligibility for retirement and to calculate their retirement benefit. It also may count toward eligibility for the health insurance credit in retirement, if the employer offers the health insurance credit.

Defined Contributions Component:Under the defined contribution component, creditable service is used to determine vesting for the employer contribution portion of the plan.



55




VestingVesting is the minimum length of service a member needs to qualify for a future retirement benefit. Members become vested when they have at least five years (60 months) of creditable service. Vesting means members are eligible to qualify for retirement if they meet the age and service requirements for their plan. Members also must be vested to receive a full refund of their member contribution account balance if they leave employment and request a refund.

Members are always 100% vested in the contributions that they make.

VestingSame as Plan 1.

VestingDefined Benefit Component: Defined benefit vesting is the minimum length of service a member needs to qualify for a future retirement benefit.Members are vested under the defined benefit component of the Hybrid Retirement Plan when they reach five years (60 months) of creditable service.Plan 1 or Plan 2 members with at least five years (60 months) of creditable service who opted into the Hybrid Retirement Plan remain vested in the defined benefit component.

Defined Contributions Component:Defined contribution vesting refers to the minimum length of service a member needs to be eligible to withdraw the employer contributions from the defined contribution component of the plan.

Members are always 100% vested in the contributions that they make.



56




Vesting (Cont.) Vesting (Cont.) Vesting (Cont.) Defined Contributions Component: (Cont.)Upon retirement or leaving covered employment, a member is eligible to withdraw a percentage of employer contributions to the defined contribution component of the plan, based on service.

• After two years, a member is 50% vested and may withdraw 50% of employer contributions.

• After three years, a member is 75% vested and may withdraw 75% of employer contributions.

• After four or more years, a member is 100% vested and may withdraw 100% of employer contributions.

Distribution is not required by law until age 70½.

Calculating the Benefit The Basic Benefit is calculated based on a formula using the member’s average final compensation, a retirement multiplier and total service credit at retirement. It is one of the benefit payout options available to a member at retirement.

Calculating the Benefit See definition under Plan 1.

Calculating the Benefit Defined Benefit Component: See definition under Plan 1



57




Calculating the Benefit (Cont.)An early retirement reduction factor is applied to the Basic Benefit if the member retires with a reduced retirement benefit or selects a benefit payout option other than the Basic Benefit.

Calculating the Benefit (Cont.) Calculating the Benefit (Cont.)Defined Contribution Component:The benefit is based on contributions made by the member and any matching contributions made by the employer, plus net investment earnings on those contributions.

Average Final Compensation A member’s average final compensation is the average of the 36 consecutive months of highest compensation as a covered employee.

Average Final Compensation A member’s average final compensation is the average of their 60 consecutive months of highest compensation as a covered employee.

Average Final Compensation Same as Plan 2. It is used in the retirement formula for the defined benefit component of the plan.

Service Retirement Multiplier VRS: The retirement multiplier is a factor used in the formula to determine a final retirement benefit. The retirement multiplier for non-hazardous duty members is 1.70%.

Sheriffs and regional jail superintendents: Theretirement multiplier for sheriffs and regional jail superintendents is 1.85%.

Political subdivision hazardous duty employees: The retirement multiplier of eligible political subdivision hazardous duty employees other than sheriffs and regional jail superintendents is 1.70% or 1.85% as elected by the employer.

Employees Covered by Benefit Terms

As of the June 30, 2014 actuarial valuation, the following employees were covered by the benefit terms of the pension plan:

Component UnitPrimary School Board

Government (1) NonprofessionalInactive members or their beneficiaries currently

receiving benefits 83 99Inactive members:

Vested inactive members 18 15

Non-vested inactive members 22 37

Inactive members active elsewhere in VRS 44 20Total inactive members 84 72

Active members 145 90Total covered employees 312 261

(1) Includes Component Unit Rockbridge Regional Jail Commission

Contributions

The contribution requirement for active employees is governed by §51.1-145 of the Code of Virginia, as amended, but may be impacted as a result of funding options provided to political subdivisions by the Virginia General Assembly. Employees are required to contribute 5.00% of their compensation toward their retirement. Prior to July 1, 2012, all or part of the 5.00% member contribution may have been assumed by the employer. Beginning July 1, 2012, new employees were required to pay the 5% member contribution. In addition, for existing employees, employers were required to begin making the employee pay the 5.00% member contribution. This could be phased in over a period of up to 5 years and the employer is required to provide a salary increase equal to the amount of the increase in the employee-paid member contribution.The Board of Supervisors opted to make the transition in a single fiscal year rather than phasing in the requirement.The Primary Government’s contractually required contribution rate for the year ended June 30, 2016 was 14.03% of covered employee compensation. This rate was based on an actuarially determined rate from an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2013. This rate, when combined with employee contributions, was expected to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. Contributions to the pension plan from the County were $670,679 and $646,121 for the years ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively.The Component Unit Rockbridge Regional Jail Commission’s contractually required contribution rate for the year ended June 30, 2016 was 14.03% of covered employee compensation. This rate was based on an actuarially determined rate from an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2013.



63


Contributions (continued)

This rate, when combined with employee contributions, was expected to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. Contributions to the pension plan from the Component Unit Rockbridge Regional Jail Commission were $208,323 and $200,696 for the years ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively.

The Component Unit School Board’s contractually required contribution rate for nonprofessional employees for the year ended June 30, 2016 was 8.51% of covered employee compensation. This rate was based on an actuarially determined rate from an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2013.

This rate, when combined with employee contributions, was expected to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. Contributions to the pension plan from the Component Unit School Board’s nonprofessional employees were $123,093 and $131,850 for the years ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively.

Net Pension Liability

The Primary Government’s, Component Unit Rockbridge Regional Jail Commission’s and Component Unit School Board’s (nonprofessional) net pension liabilities were measured as of June 30, 2015. The total pension liabilities used to calculate the net pension liabilities were determined by an actuarial valuation performed as of June 30, 2014, using updated actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement and rolled forward to the measurement date of June 30, 2015.

Actuarial Assumptions – General Employees

The total pension liability for General Employees in the Primary Government’s, Component Unit Rockbridge Regional Jail Commission’s, and Component Unit School Board’s (nonprofessional) Retirement Plan was based on an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2014, using the Entry Age Normal actuarial cost method and the following assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement and rolled forward to the measurement date of June 30, 2015.

Inflation 2.5%

Salary increases, including inflation 3.5% – 5.35%

Investment rate of return 7.0%, net of pension plan investmentexpense, including inflation*

* Administrative expenses as a percent of the market value of assets for the last experience study were found to be approximately 0.06% of the market assets for all of the VRS plans. This would provide an assumed investment return rate for GASB purposes of slightly more than the assumed 7.0%. However, since the difference was minimal, and a more conservative 7.0% investment return assumption provided a projected plan net position that exceeded the projected benefit payments, the long-term expected rate of return on investments was assumed to be 7.0% to simplify preparation of pension liabilities.

The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2014 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period from July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2012. Changes to the actuarial assumptions as a result of the experience study are as follows:

Largest 10 – Non-LEOS:- Update mortality table - Decrease in rates of service retirement

- Decrease in rates of disability retirement - Reduce rates of salary increase by 0.25% per year

Long-Term Expected Rate of Return

The long-term expected rate of return on pension System investments was determined using a log-normal distribution analysis in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension System investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. The target asset allocation and best estimate of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:

Long-Term Expected Rate of Return (continued)

* Using stochastic projection results provides an expected range of real rates of return over various time horizons. Looking at one year results produces an expected real return of 8.33% but also has a high standard deviation, which means there is high volatility. Over larger time horizons the volatility declines significantly and provides a median return of 7.44%, including expected inflation of 2.50%.

Discount Rate

The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.00%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that System member contributions will be made per the VRS Statutes and the employer contributions will be made in accordance with the VRS funding policy at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined contribution rates adopted by the VRS Board of Trustees and the member rate. Through the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, the rate contributed by the employer for the County and Component Unit School Board (nonprofessional) Retirement Plans will be subject to the portion of the VRS Board-certified rates that are funded by the Virginia General Assembly. From July 1, 2018 on, participating employers are assumed to contribute 100% of the actuarially determined contribution rates. Based on those assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current active and inactive employees. Therefore the long-term expected rate of return was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

Plan Description

All full-time, salaried permanent (professional) employees of public school divisions are automatically covered by the VRS Teacher Retirement Plan upon employment. This is a cost-sharing multiple employer plan administered by the Virginia Retirement System (the system). Additional information regarding the plan description can be found in the first section of this note.

Contributions

The contribution requirement for active employees is governed by §51.1-145 of the Code of Virginia, as amended, but may be impacted as a result of funding options provided to political subdivisions by the Virginia General Assembly. Employees are required to contribute 5.00% of their compensation toward their retirement. Prior to July 1, 2012, all or part of the 5.00% member contribution may have been assumed by the employer. Beginning July 1, 2012, new employees were required to pay the 5% member contribution. In addition, for existing employees, employers were required to begin making the employee pay the 5.00% member contribution. This could be phased in over a period of up to 5 years and the employer is required to provide a salary increase equal to the amount of the increase in the employee-paid member contribution.

Each School Division’s contractually required contribution rate for the year ended June 30, 2016 was 14.50% of covered employee compensation. This rate was based on an actuarially determined rate from an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2013. The actuarial rate for the Teacher Retirement Plan was 18.20%. This rate, when combined with employee contributions, was expected to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. Based on the provisions of §51.1-145 of the Code of Virginia, as amended the contributions were funded at 79.69% of the actuarial rate for the year ended June 30, 2016. Contributions to the pension plan from the School Board were $2,204,086 and $2,259,447 for the years ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively.

Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions

At June 30, 2016, the school division reported a liability of $26,379,000 for its proportionate share of the Net Pension Liability. The Net Pension Liability was measured as of June 30, 2015 and the total pension liability used to calculate the Net Pension Liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. The school division’s proportion of the Net Pension Liability was based on the school division’s actuarially determined employer contributions to the pension plan for the year ended June 30, 2015 relative to the total of the actuarially determined employer contributions for all participating employers. At June 30, 2015, the school division’s proportion was .20958% as compared to .20944% at June 30, 2014.

For the year ended June 30, 2016, the school division recognized pension expense of $1,769,000. Since there was a change in proportionate share between June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2015, a portion of the pension expense was related to deferred amounts from changes in proportion and from differences between employer contributions and the proportionate share of employer contributions.

At June 30, 2016, the school division reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the following sources:

NOTE 9—OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS:

County and Other Participating Entities:

Beginning in fiscal year 2009, the County implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 45 for other postemployment benefits (OPEB) offered to retirees. This standard addresses how local governments should account for and report their costs related to postemployment health care and other non-pension benefits. Historically, the plan subsidy was funded on a pay-as-you-go basis, but GASB Statement No. 45 requires that the County accrue the cost of other postemployment benefits during the period of the employees’ active employment, while the benefits are being earned, and disclose the unfunded actuarial accrued liability in order to accurately account for the total future costs of postemployment benefits and the financial impact on the County. This funding methodology mirrors the funding approach used for pension benefits.

A. Plan Description

The County offers its employees the option to participate in the group health insurance program offered to other employees upon retirement, through a single-employer defined benefit plan. Employees must meet the age and service criteria for reduced VRS retirement and be a current employee at least 50 years of age and have been employed by the County in a benefits-eligible position for 10 of the last 13 years prior to retirement are eligible to remain enrolled in the health insurance group plan and continue to have the premiums paid for health insurance coverage subject to specific terms. Spouses and dependents listed for coverage by the employee prior to retirement may remain in the group program. Once the employee has retired, only the deletion or termination of coverage will be permitted. Full cost of dependent coverage will be the responsibility of the retired employee. Eligibility for this benefit terminates at the time the retiree obtains other health coverage or reaches the age of 65. Should an employee be granted full retirement by VRS and/or Social Security because of disability, he/she will be eligible to receive the payments made by the County for retirees regardless of age if he/she has been employed by the County for at least 10 years immediately prior to the disability. The County reserves the right to change the terms of the retirees’ health insurance coverage at any time, including the right to terminate any or all coverage provided to retirees.

The Rockbridge Landfill and Component Units Rockbridge Regional Jail Commission and Rockbridge Public Service Authority (herein are referred to as Other Participating Entities) are included in this plan.

B. Funding Policy

The Rockbridge County Government establishes employer medical contribution rates for all medical plan participants as part of the budgetary process each year. The County also determines how the plan will be funded each year, whether it will partially fund the plan or fully fund the plan. Retirees pay 100% of spousal premiums. Coverage ceases when retirees reach the age of 65. Surviving spouses are not allowed access to the plan.

C. Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation

The annual cost of other postemployment benefits (OPEB) under GASB 45 is based on the annual required contribution or ARC. The estimated pay as you go cost for OPEB benefits is presented in the following table for fiscal year 2015. The County has elected not to pre-fund OPEB liabilities. The County is required to contribute the annual required contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (of funding excess) over a period not to exceed thirty years.

D. Funded Status and Funding Progress

The funded status of the plan as of June 30, 2014, the most recent actuarial valuation date, is as follows:

Actuarial accrued liability (AAL) $ 459,000 Actuarial value of plan assets $ - Unfunded actuarial accrued liability $ 459,000 Funded ratio (actuarial value of plan assets/AAL) 0%Covered payroll (active plan members) $ 7,544,000 UAAL as a percentage of covered payroll 6.08%

Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revisions as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future.

NOTE 9—OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS PROGRAM: (CONTINUED)


D. Funded Status and Funding Progress (continued)

The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, presents multiyear trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits.

E. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions

Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and the plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.

Cost Method

The Entry Age Normal cost method is used to determine the Plan’s funding liabilities and costs. Under this method, the actuarial present value of projected benefits of every active Participant as if the Plan’s provisions on the valuation date had always been in effect, is determined as a level percentage of expected annual earnings for each future year of expected service. A normal cost for each year from the assumed entry date is determined by applying this level percentage of pay to the assumed earnings for that year (or if benefits are not pay related, the level amount for each year). Under this method, inactive Participants have no normal cost, and the actuarial liability is the present value of the plan benefits to which they and their beneficiaries are entitled. The Plan’s total annual normal cost and actuarial liability are the sum of the individual Participant amounts. An experience gain or loss is a decrease or increase in the unfunded actuarial liability attributable to actual experience that differed from that expected by the actuarial assumptions. Such gains or losses are explicitly recognized under this method. Data is net of any retiree contributions. The UAAL is being amortized on an open basis. The remaining amortization at July 1, 2014 was 30 years.

Interest Assumptions Not fundedDiscount rate 4%Payroll growth 2.50%

School Board Health Insurance Plan

A. Plan Description

The Rockbridge County School Board offers its employees the option to participate in the group health insurance program offered to other employees upon retirement, through a single-employer defined benefit plan. Employees must meet the age and service criteria for reduced VRS retirement and be a current employee at least 50 years of age and have been employed by the School Board in a benefits-eligible position for 10 of the last 13 years prior to retirement are eligible to remain enrolled in the health insurance group plan and continue to have the premiums paid for health insurance coverage subject to specific terms. Spouses and dependents listed for coverage by the employee prior to retirement may remain in the group program. Once the employee has retired, only the deletion or termination of coverage will be permitted.

School Board Health Insurance Plan (continued)

A. Plan Description (continued)

Full cost of dependent coverage will be the responsibility of the retired employee. Eligibility for this benefit terminates at the time the retiree obtains other health coverage or reaches the age of 65. Should an employee be granted full retirement by VRS and/or Social Security because of disability, he/she will be eligible to receive the payments made by the School Board for retirees regardless of age if he/she has been employed by the School Board for at least 10 years immediately prior to the disability. The School Board reserves the right to change the terms of the retirees’ health insurance coverage at any time, including the right to terminate any or all coverage provided to retirees.

B. Funding Policy

The Rockbridge County School Board establishes employer medical contribution rates for all medical plan participants as part of the budgetary process each year. The School Board also determines how the plan will be funded each year, whether it will partially fund the plan or fully fund the plan. Retirees pay 100% of spousal premiums. Coverage ceases when retirees reach the age of 65. Surviving spouses are not allowed access to the plan.

The annual cost of other postemployment benefits (OPEB) under GASB 45 is based on the annual required contribution or ARC. The estimated pay as you go cost for OPEB benefits is $373,000 for fiscal year 2016. The School Board has elected not to pre-fund OPEB liabilities. The School Board is required to contribute the annual required contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (of funding excess) over a period not to exceed thirty years.

The following table shows the components of the School Board’s annual OPEB cost for the year, the estimated contributions to the Plan, and changes in the School Board’s net OPEB obligation to the Plan:

SchoolBoard

Annual Required Contribution (ARC) $ 376,000Interest on OPEB Obligation 55,000 Adjustment to ARC (58,000)Annual OPEB Cost $ 373,000Contributions Made (165,000)Increase in Net OPEB Obligation $ 208,000Net OPEB Obligation - beginning of year 1,385,000Net OPEB Obligation - end of year $ 1,593,000

B. Funding Policy (continued)

Annual OPEB Cost. for 2016, the School Board’s expected cash payment of $165,000 is $208,000 less than the OPEB cost (expense) of $373,000. The Government’s annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan, and the net OPEB obligation for 2016 and the two preceding years are as follows:

Fiscal Annual Percentage of NetYear OPEB Annual OPEB OPEB

Ended Cost Cost Contributed ObligationJune 30, 2016 $ 373,000 44% $ 1,593,000 June 30, 2015 361,000 38% 1,385,000 June 30, 2014 342,000 42% 1,161,000

C. Funded Status and Funding Progress

The funded status of the plan as of June 30, 2015, the most recent actuarial valuation date, is as follows:

Actuarial accrued liability (AAL) $ 4,679,000Actuarial value of plan assets $ -Unfunded actuarial accrued liability $ 4,679,000Funded ratio (actuarial value of plan assets/AAL) 0%Covered payroll (active plan members) $ 16,088,000UAAL as a percentage of covered payroll 29.08%

Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revisions as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future.

The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, presents multiyear trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits.

D. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions

Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and the plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.



81



D. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions (continued)

Cost Method

The Entry Age Normal cost method is used to determine the Plan’s funding liabilities and costs. Under this method, the actuarial present value of projected benefits of every active Participant as if the Plan’s provisions on the valuation date had always been in effect, is determined as a level percentage of expected annual earnings for each future year of expected service. A normal cost for each year from the assumed entry date is determined by applying this level percentage of pay to the assumed earnings for that year (or if benefits are not pay related, the level amount for each year). Under this method, inactive Participants have no normal cost, and the actuarial liability is the present value of the plan benefits to which they and their beneficiaries are entitled. The Plan’s total annual normal cost and actuarial liability are the sum of the individual Participant amounts. An experience gain or loss is a decrease or increase in the unfunded actuarial liability attributable to actual experience that differed from that expected by the actuarial assumptions. Such gains or losses are explicitly recognized under this method. Data is net of any retiree contributions. The UAAL is being amortized on an open basis. The remaining amortization at July 1, 2014 was 30 years.

VRS Health Insurance Credit Program

A. Plan Description

The School Board participates in the Health Insurance Credit Program, a plan designed to assist retirees with the cost of health insurance coverage. This program is a cost sharing, multiple-employer defined benefit plan administered by the Virginia Retirement System (VRS). The Virginia General Assembly established the dollar amount of the health insurance credit for each year of creditable service. The credit amount and eligibility differs for state, school division, political subdivision, local officer, local social services department and general registrar retirees.

A teacher, who retires under VRS with at least 15 years of total creditable service under the System and is enrolled in a health insurance plan, is eligible to receive a monthly health insurance credit of $4 per year of creditable service. However, such credit shall not exceed the health insurance premium for the retiree. Disabled retirees automatically receive a monthly health insurance credit of $4 multiplied by the smaller of (i) twice the amount of their creditable service of (ii) the amount of creditable service they would have completed at 60 if they had remained in service to that age.

Benefit provisions and eligibility requirements are established by Title 51.1, Chapter 14 of the Code of Virginia. The VRS actuarially determines the amount necessary to fund all credits provided, reflects the cost of such credits in the applicable employer contribution rate pursuant to §51.1-145, and prescribes such terms and conditions as are necessary to carry out the provisions of the health insurance credit program. VRS issues separate financial statements as previously discussed in Note 8.



82


VRS Health Insurance Credit Program (continued)

B. Funding Policy

The School Board is required to contribute, at an actuarially determined rate, the entire amount necessary to fund participation in the program. The current rate is 1.06% of annual covered payroll. The School Board’s contributions to VRS for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014 were $154,844, $164,604, and $170,037, respectively and equaled the required contributions for each year.

NOTE 10—DEFERRED/UNAVAILABLE REVENUE PROPERTY TAXES & INFLOWS/OUTFLOWS OF RESOURCES:

Unavailable revenue represents amounts for which asset recognition criteria have been met, but for which revenue recognition criteria have not been met. Deferred and unavailable revenue in the government-wide and fund financial statements totaling $8,874,382 and $10,267,084 respectively, is comprised of the following:

A. Prepaid Property Taxes: Property taxes due subsequent to June 30, 2016 but paid in advance by taxpayers totaled $463,579 at June 30, 2016.

B. Unbilled Property Taxes: Property taxes for the second half of 2016 that had not been billed as of June 30, 2016 amounted to $8,410,803.

C. Unavailable Property Taxes: Uncollected tax billings not available for funding of current expenditures totaled $1,392,702 at June 30, 2016.

Unearned revenue of the Primary Government is comprised of prepaid Department of Motor Vehicle fees in the amount of $1,531.

NOTE 11—CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:

Federal programs in which the County participates were audited in accordance with the Uniform Guidance. Pursuant to the provisions of this circular all major programs and certain other programs were tested for compliance with applicable grant requirements.

While no matters of noncompliance were disclosed by audit, the federal government may subject grant programs to additional compliance tests which may result in disallowed expenditures. In the opinion of management, any future disallowances of current grant program expenditures, if any, would be immaterial.

NOTE 12—DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS:

Deposits:Deposits with banks are covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and collateralized in accordance with the Virginia Security for Public Deposits Act (the “Act”) Section 2.2-4400 et. seq. of the Code of Virginia. Under the Act, banks and savings institutions holding public deposits in excess of the amount insured by the FDIC must pledge collateral to the Commonwealth of Virginia Treasury Board. Financial Institutions may choose between two collateralization methodologies and depending upon that choice, will pledge collateral that ranges in the amounts from 50% to 130% of excess deposits. Accordingly, all deposits are considered fully collateralized.



83

NOTE 12—DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS: (CONTINUED)

Investments: Statutes authorize the County and its discretely component units to invest in obligations of the United States or agencies thereof, obligations of the Commonwealth of Virginia or political subdivisions thereof, obligations of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank), the Asian Development Bank, the African Development Bank, prime quality commercial paper and certain corporate notes, banker’s acceptances, repurchase agreements, and State Treasurer’s Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP).

Credit Risk of Debt Securities The County investment policy for credit risk is consistent with the investments allowed by statutes as detailed above.

The County and its discretely presented component units rated debt investments as of June 30, 2016 were rated by Standard & Poor’s and the ratings are presented below using the Standard & Poor’s rating scale.

County's Rated Debt Investments' ValuesFair Quality Ratings

External Investment Pool The State Non-Arbitrage Pool (SNAP) is an open-end management investment company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In May 2016, the Board voted to convert the SNAP fund to an LGIP structure, which would be managed in conformance with GASB 79. On October 3, 2016, the Prime Series became a government money market fund and the name was changed to Government Select Series. The Government Select Series has a policy of investing at least 99.5% of its assets in cash, U.S. government securities (including securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities) and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized fully.

The fair value of the positions in the external investment pools (Local Government Investment Pool and State Non-Arbitrage Pool) is the same as the value of the pool shares. As LGIP is not SEC registered, regulatory oversight of the pool rests with the Virginia State Treasury. LGIP and SNAP are amortized cost basis portfolios under the provisions of GASB Statement No. 79. There are no withdrawal limitations or restrictions imposed on participants.

Interest Rate Risk All County investments must be in securities maturing within five years. Maturities of the County’s investments are as follows:

Discretely Presented Component Unit-School Board: (continued)

Legislation enacted during the year ended June 30, 2002, Section 15.2-1800.1 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, changed the reporting of local school capital assets and related debt for financial statement purposes. Historically, debt incurred by local government on-behalf of school boards was reported in the school board’s discrete column along with the related capital assets. Under the new law, local governments have a tenancy in common with the school board whenever the locality incurs any financial obligation for any school property which is payable over more than one fiscal year. For financial reporting purposes, the legislation permits the locality to report the portion of school property related to any outstanding financial obligation eliminating any potential deficit from capitalizing assets financed with debt. The effect on the County of Rockbridge, Virginia for the year ended June 30, 2016, is that school financed assets in the amount of $40,302,565 are reported in the Primary Government for financial reporting purposes.

NOTE 16—LANDFILL CLOSURE AND POST-CLOSURE CARE COST:

The Solid Waste Authority owns the only permitted landfill site within the County of Rockbridge. The Cities of Lexington and Buena Vista also use the landfill site. Landfill costs are prorated to each jurisdiction based on tonnage of solid waste accepted each month. The County of Rockbridge is responsible for the management and operation of the landfill. Rockbridge County’s share of tonnage has historically been approximately 70%, the City of Lexington’s share has been approximately 20%, and Buena Vista’s approximately 10%.

State and federal laws and regulations require the Solid Waste Authority to place a final cover on the landfill site when it is filled to capacity or stops accepting waste and to perform certain maintenance and monitoring functions at the site for thirty years after closure. Although closure and post-closure care costs will be paid only near or after the date that the landfill stops accepting waste, the Solid Waste Authority reports a portion of these closure and post-closure care costs as an operating expense in each period based on landfill capacity at each balance sheet date.

The landfill began operation during 1972 and currently has an estimated capacity to last until the year 2017. The $1,980,511 reported as accrued closure and post-closure liability at June 30, 2016 represents the cumulative amount reported based on the estimated number of years remaining (one). The Authority expects to close the landfill in the year 2017. The estimated total current cost of the landfill closure and post-closure care of $1,980,511 is based on the amount that would be paid if all equipment, facilities and services required to close, monitor and maintain the landfill were acquired as of June 30, 2016. Actual costs may be higher due to inflation, changes in technology, or changes in regulations. The Solid Waste Authority intends to fund these costs from tipping revenues and from any funds derived and accumulated for this purpose in the upcoming years.

The County demonstrated financial assurance requirements for closure, post-closure care, and corrective action costs through the submission of a Local Government Financial Assurance Test to the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality in accordance with Section 9VA C20-70 of the Virginia Administrative Code.

NOTE 17—DUE TO OTHER GOVERNMENTS:

During fiscal year 2013 the County entered into an agreement with the City of Buena Vista, Virginia and the City of Lexington, Virginia in order to fund certain renovation improvements to the Rockbridge County Regional Jail. The agreement stipulates that each locality shall be responsible for a portion of the debt issued to finance the project. The City of Lexington serves as fiscal agent for the project and as such, will pay the annual debt service through April 2028. The participating localities will reimburse the City of Lexington for the debt service. As of June 30, 2016 the portion of the debt allocable to the County of Rockbridge, Virginia amounted to $899,741.

The Component Unit Rockbridge Area Social Services Board reported a balance due to the Cities of Buena Vista and Lexington of $64,454 as of June 30, 2016, which represents the net balance owed to the two Cities. The balance due to the Cities consists of administrative costs due from the Cities of $20,246 and CSA pool reimbursements due to the Cities of $84,700.

NOTE 22—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

The County and the City of Lexington entered into a modified voluntary settlement of Annexation and Immunity Agreement on May 6, 1986. This agreement is based on real estate assessed values and on non- property local taxes. The amount due the City of Lexington is payable on January 1 of each year. Included in these financial statements is the payment for the year ended June 30, 2015 in the amount of $1,769,854. The amount to be paid on January 1, 2017, and which is not included in the financial statements, totals $1,797,985 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.

The MSA’s debt totaled $6,654,633 as of June 30, 2016 and is scheduled to be completely retired by June 2031. The County paid $704,330 to the MSA in fiscal year 2016 for half of the debt service, the City of Lexington pays an equal assessment. An annual assessment of $704,330 per year is scheduled through fiscal year 2018. The annual assessment will be reduced to $161,504 for fiscal years 2019 to 2031.

NOTE 22—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: (CONTINUED)

The County along with the Cities of Lexington and Buena Vista, have entered into an agreement with the Rockbridge Regional Public Safety Communications Center, for the purpose of providing contributions for the payment of debt associated with its radio upgrade project through June 30, 2030. Each locality will contribute a percentage of the total cost of the upgrade based upon its annual assessed value of real estate. TheCounty of Rockbridge is serving as fiscal agent for the radio upgrade project. The amount owed by the Rockbridge Regional Public Safety Communications Center on the capital lease obligation at June 30, 2016 was $4,945,909 and an annual payment of $435,427 will be paid by the Center through June 2030.

Lexington City has committed to partnering with Rockbridge County on the landfill’s lateral expansion project. The County and Lexington City continue with negotiations to create a new solid waste management agreement that is linked to the landfill expansion. The final agreement will include provisions to amend and restate solid waste disposal that involves a successor regional solid waste authority. The existing Rockbridge County Solid Waste Authority shall be re-constituted as the Blue Ridge Resource Authority with Rockbridge County and the City of Lexington as members. The successor regional Authority Board shall consist of seven members, with five members appointed from the County Board of Supervisors, and two members appointed by the Lexington City Council, from among the Mayor and the City Council members. Although Buena Vista City opted to contract with a third party to begin managing their solid waste in FY 2018, the future landfill cells have the capacity to handle their refuse should they request to participate as a customer in the Authority’s solid waste system.

The County Recycling Program is currently accounted for in the RCSWA Recycling Fund. County and Authority leadership, as recommended by staff, will transition this function to the County of Rockbridge General Fund beginning on July 1, 2017 (FY 2018).

93

NOTE 23—UPCOMING PRONOUNCEMENTS: (CONTINUED)

Statement No. 77, Tax Abatement Disclosures, will increase the disclosure of tax abatement agreements to disclose information about the agreements. The requirements of this Statement improve financial reporting by giving users of financial statements essential information that is not consistently or comprehensively reported to the public at present. The requirements of this Statement are effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 2015.

Statement No. 78, Pensions Provided through Certain Multiple-Employer Defined Benefit Pension Plans,addresses a practice issue regarding the scope and applicability of Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions. This issue is associated with pensions provided through certain multiple-employer defined benefit pension plans and to state or local governmental employers whose employees are provided with such pensions. The requirements of this Statement are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015.

Statement No. 80, Blending Requirements for Certain Component Units—an amendment of GASB Statement No. 14, improves financial reporting by clarifying the financial statement presentation requirements for certain component units.

NOTE 24—LITIGATION:

At June 30, 2016, there were no matters of litigation involving the County for which would materially affect the County’s financial position should any court decisions on pending matters not be favorable to the County.

NOTE 25—ADVANCE REFUNDING:

The government issued $4,985,000 in revenue bonds at interest rates ranging from 3.796% to 5.125%. The proceeds were used to advance refund $5,130,000 of outstanding 2007 Series E bonds which had an interest rate of 4.58%. The net proceeds of $5,659,557 (including a $835,950 premium, and after payment of $161,393 in underwriting fees, and other issuance costs) were deposited in an irrevocable trust with an escrow agent to provide funds for the future debt services payment on the refunding bonds. As a result, the 2007 Series E revenue bonds are considered defeased and the liability for those bonds has been removed from the statement of net position.

The reacquisition price exceeded the net carrying amount of the old debt by $449,876. This amount is being amortized over the remaining life of the refunding debt. The government advance refunded the 2007 Series E revenue bonds to obtain an economic gain (difference between the present values of the debt service payments on the old and new debt) of $613,354.

Changes of benefit terms – There have been no actuarially material changes to the System benefit provisionssince the prior actuarial valuation. The 2014 valuation includes Hybrid Retirement Plan members for the first time.The hybrid plan applies to most new employees hired on or after January 1, 2014 and not covered by enhancedhazardous duty benefits. Because this was a new benefit and the number of participants was relatively small, theimpact on the liabilities as of the measurement date of June 30, 2015 are not material.

Changes of assumptions – The following changes in actuarial assumptions were made effective June 30, 2013based on the most recent experience study of the System for the four-year period ending June 30, 2012:

In 2015, Covered Employee Payroll (as defined by GASB 68) included the total payroll for employees covered underthe pension plan whether that payroll is subject to pension coverage or not. This definition was modified in GASBStatement No. 82 and now is the payroll on which contributions to a pension plan are based. The ratios presenteduse the same measure.

COMPLIANCE SECTION

ROBINSON, FARMER, COX ASSOCIATES CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS A PROFESSIONAL LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN

ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS


We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the Specifications for Audits of Counties, Cities, and Towns, issued by the Auditor of Public Accounts of the Commonwealth of Virginia, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the discretely presented component units, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the County of Rockbridge, Virginia, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the County of Rockbridge, Virginia’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 18, 2016.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered County of Rockbridge, Virginia’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of County of Rockbridge, Virginia’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of County of Rockbridge, Virginia’s internal control.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significantdeficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether County of Rockbridge, Virginia’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

152

Purpose of this Report

The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

ROBINSON, FARMER, COX ASSOCIATESCERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS A PROFESSIONAL LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE REQUIRED BY THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE


Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program

We have audited County of Rockbridge, Virginia’s compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Circular Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of County of Rockbridge, Virginia’s major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2016. County of Rockbridge, Virginia’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditors’ results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.

Management’s Responsibility

Management is responsible for compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of its federal awards applicable to its federal programs.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of County of Rockbridge, Virginia’s major federal programs based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Those standards and the Uniform Guidance require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about County of Rockbridge, Virginia’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of County of Rockbridge, Virginia’s compliance.

Opinion on Each Major Federal Program

In our opinion, County of Rockbridge, Virginia complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2016.

154

Report on Internal Control over Compliance

Management of County of Rockbridge, Virginia is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered County of Rockbridge, Virginia’s internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal program to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federal program and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of County of Rockbridge, Virginia’s internal control over compliance.

A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.
